Comrade Stuchka!

Concerning the matter of Tregubov and his activity, it apparently requires further investigation: is it true that he is conducting counterrevolutionary speeches, as stated by the VIII Department of the People's Commissariat of Justice (No. 723).

Do you agree to conduct an investigation and verify precisely? I request you answer me on this.

Chairman of SNK V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
